McCain Should Pick Kay Bailey Hutchison for Veep

I said the next vice president should be a woman. Obama goofed. Now it’s set up for McCain to pick a woman vice president. Dick Morris has pointed out that there is only a 2% difference between men and women backing Obama. Historically, says Morris, 10-15% more women than men back the Democrat. Women are upset Obama passed over his historical opportunity to select Clinton, so seem to be withholding their support.

Morris says McCain should capitalize on Obama’s error by selecting Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas. Martin Sieff at upi.com dismisses former Hewlett-Packard chief Carly Fiorina, my previous choice, saying McCain will suffer by associating with a CEO-type in an election where corporations are unpopular. Sieff also backs Hutchison as the only possible female choice. So do I.
